Dominica (Part I) - Champagne Reef Snorkel trip
Irie Safari Champagne Snorkel Adventures - We were told the days before had been very windy, and that was why the water was so cloudy. The sun came over the mountain and visibility improved a little. Our guide was very patient and did not rush us at all. She took the time to explain the reef, and we felt we learned a lot on our trip.
Irie Safari Champagne Snorkel Adventures:
It's just a 15-minute drive south of Roseau through the picturesque village of Pointe Michel to the watersports facility at Champagne. Champagne is Dominica's premier diving and snorkeling site and rates among the top five snorkeling sites in the Caribbean. Underwater geothermal springs vent gasses in the form of thousands of warm bubbles giving you a feeling of swimming through a giant glass of Champagne. The reef here is quite spectacular with a myriad of sea life including sponges, lobster, parrot fish and a resident population of hawksbill turtles. You will be outfitted with high quality snorkeling gear and given an orientation of the facility and the adventure that awaits you on the reef. Tours of the reef are led by professional PADI-certified dive masters who will instruct you on the correct use of your gear and brief you on what you are likely to see and experience once in the water. After your tour, enjoy the comfort and convenience of showers and changing rooms, refreshments, a gift shop and our sundeck overlooking the beautiful Caribbean Sea.
